Lacking preparatory drills Nov 23, 2010
By OttoHarris
A great book I've picked up some licks from I'm currently working through "Frailing the Guitar" , that is a book with a solid base of exercises the writer Steve Baughman gives you, while he makes it clear you should do the preparatory exercises for at least a month before you get to stuck into the advanced full compositions.
Not so with this book you dive straight into Musical pieces and then the exercises are at the end. They are mostly licks as well like Jerry Reed licks, there are no scale exercises Banjo style for example in C or G or Mixolydian.
You can see Chet Atkins and Robert Smith run through some of these on YouTube but they are not in the Book a little dissapointing.
A good book though a few preperatory exercises and drills before the music compositions would be better.
I'm working my way through frailing first and getting back to this and putting the two techniques together.
Great for the Skilled to Advanced player but daunting to get into the style for beginners.
The pieces are magnificent and worth the price alone I have it on my XBox 360 just so I dont scratch the original CD!
A better progressive study setup would have this as five stars if you are looking to get into this Banjo style from beginner level search YouTube learn a few scales and then get this.
